Actually in my opinion I don't know if this is wise! The NAACP has a background and there is a reason for everything. If you change the name you change tradition, and there is nothing wrong with that, but I feel a name change would mean we have a complex and are afraid to hear/use the word colored ...don't be afraid of your roots!!
We still have many associates titled Negro this, and Negro that. It is a part of the tradition and more importantly a part of the reason these associates were created.
If you disagree with those names I would go so far as to say you should not like such names and Black association for XXX, they all separate groups of people, and label us. Who really wants to be labeled?
